Prior to working with the content of the course Video Technology and Multimedia, I had done some experimentation with video editing. The valuable thing about taking courses at this level is that you realize there is so much more to each technology than previously realized. I worked with Microsoft Movie Maker in completing the course project and mastered the software. I was able to share video techniques and editing with my students in the multimedia class that I teach. I have found the essential course elements perfect for my new endeavor of transitioning the classes I teach to Schoology.com. There are times that I will want to discuss or present information visually. It is a great addition to my online resources to be able to record that information for a student to review from home, or to be able to view when they return from an absence. There are so many times in teaching that we repeat the same information over and over, class to class. Video pod casting enables us to minimize repetition and allows for individual student access. I also found from presenting videos to the class that I have integrated with other videos more effective. Like most people hearing information from someone other than the presenter, seems to reinforce the message.
